The Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers' Compensation (TDI-DWC) approved the renewals of the Certificates of Authority for twelve companies to self-insure their workers' compensation claims for a one-year period under the TDI-DWC Self-Insurance Program. These twelve companies collectively employ approximately 20,700 employees in Texas.

Under Texas law, certain large, private companies can self-insure for workers' compensation claims, while retaining the protection of the Texas Workers' Compensation Act for the company and for its employees. To qualify, a company must have a minimum workers' compensation insurance unmodified manual premium of $500,000 and meet other requirements subject to annual review.
